Cabby Info - Paint Colors by Year

All Cabriolet paint colors and their L-codes are listed here by year for quick reference. Not all colors were available in all countries.

Non-metallic paints are single-stage from the factory. Metallic and pearl paints are two-stage, i.e. clear-coated.

Paint code can be found on the build sheet sticker in the trunk, provided your Cabriolet still has the sticker stuck to the crossbar.
